His road starts were absolutely horrendous. If you take out his road starts and all the stats that went with them, you have a Twins team with a winning road record and an ERA somewhere around 4.00. I think the Twins are going to be just fine on this trip.sploorphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278485961012000866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11215059.post-60171646350786999702008-08-22T14:02:00.000-05:002008-08-22T14:02:00.000-05:00nice post. like the batman references.nice post. like the batman references.MVBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10145811078584052785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11215059.post-842875867950061792008-08-21T13:24:00.000-05:002008-08-21T13:24:00.000-05:00The one positive about the Twins upcoming stretch ...The one positive about the Twins upcoming stretch is that the White Sox don't have it much easier. They start with four at home against Tampa and then go on a nine game road trip through Baltimore, Boston and Cleveland, followed by three more at home against the Angels. The Twins have to travel to Anaheim and Toronto but do get Oakland and Seattle in the middle of the stretch. <BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://abarrette.freeblogit.com/2008/08/20/buzz-off-seattle-twinssox-road-trips/" REL="nofollow">Here's the breakdown</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11215059.post-43167912011822211032008-08-21T11:04:00.000-05:002008-08-21T11:04:00.000-05:00Actually, Tolbert can come back as a September cal...<I>Actually, Tolbert can come back as a September call-up without dropping Everett.

Everett has played better lately, which is encouraging.<BR/><BR/>On one hand, I won't be surprised if another roster move brings us another reliever before the September call-ups, but on the other hand, Bass has pitched less than eight innings since the all-star break, so I'm not sure how dire the need will be for him in the next 11 days.thisisbethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08764018111806835434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11215059.post-60693662426873453452008-08-21T00:37:00.000-05:002008-08-21T00:37:00.000-05:00I think Howard put it best today:"Back in the Twin...I think Howard put it best today:<BR/><BR/>"<I>Back in the Twin Cities and just in time for the Twins to play one more and leave town for the next 43 years, or something like that.</I>"<BR/><BR/>Amen.
